The highly anticipated transfer of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid has left fans, family, and new teammates ecstatic. Over 80,000 adoring fans packed the iconic Santiago Bernabeu to witness Mbappé’s unveiling as a Real Madrid player, the 25-year-old receiving a rapturous reception.
Vinicius Jr., Mbappé’s new teammate and Brazilian sensation, wasted no time in expressing his excitement. A video showcasing the club’s unprecedented 15 European Cup victories and Mbappé’s illustrious career moments played before the crowd, followed by Mbappé himself taking the stage to address the passionate supporters.
“It’s incredible to be here. I’ve dreamt for many years of playing for Real Madrid, and today my dream has come true. I am so happy,” Mbappé declared at Real Madrid.
Following the presentation, Vinicius Jr. took to social media to echo Mbappé’s “Hala Madrid” message, a nod to Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic revelation in 2009. “1,2,3…HALA MADRID!!!” exclaimed the Brazilian on Twitter, visibly thrilled at the prospect of teaming up with his new superstar teammate.
The duo’s partnership is already generating immense anticipation, with former Real Madrid manager José Mourinho weighing in on the 2024 Ballon d’Or race. The enigmatic Portuguese tactician, now at the helm of Fenerbahce, urged Vinicius to propel compatriot Jude Bellingham to the prestigious individual award.
Bellingham, who joined Madrid for £100 million from Borussia Dortmund, had an exceptional debut season, scoring 23 goals and providing 13 assists. However, Mourinho believes the 23-year-old Brazilian, who found the net 24 times and registered 9 assists across all competitions, is poised to become the 2024 Ballon d’Or winner.
